Season to Taste

My company and team of 5 do a team building activity every quarter and this was by far the best experience! Chef John was extremely personable, professional and flexible from our first interaction to the end. He opened up his lovely home and kitchen to us for a 3 hour period, teaching us tips and tricks in the kitchen as him and his apprentice guided us through the recipes for a full course Mediterranean Meal that he picked out for us to cook based on our allergies and food preferences. Our meal also included a tasty wine pairing with a local Rose'. He was humorous and genuine and had everything ready for us just like you see on TV. His pricing was also very reasonable for the time, effort, ingredients and hospitality and training provided. I highly recommend Chef John for any cooking occasion whether it be for work, personal or both!

I bought a home cooking/learning session as a Christmas gift for my wife. John arrived at our house with all the ingredients and cooking pans and utensils. He talked to us not just about how to make the meal but what happens with cooking, how to hold the knife, cut onions and other vegetables so they don't fall apart, importance of waiting until the pan is hot for cooking, and so much more. We didn't cook from looking at a recipe and we seasoned everything to taste. My wife and I learned so much and had a fantastic meal. The experience was so much better than I had anticipated. John thank you for a great night of learning and cooking.

My daughter and I had a private class in my home with Chef John. He arrived on time, fully prepared with ingredients, cookware and a great personality. Although we have both been cooking for a long time, John taught us so much. I liked the fact he doesn't waste any food. Highly recommend Seasons to Taste.

Wanna highly recommend this class to everyone the instructor is extremely knowledgeable. Teaches you everything from how to shop for groceries to how to chop it to how to season it to how to cook it and not just using recipes using flavors to create meals. Incredible class very entertaining. Nice small group, look into this class. It’s a really good.

My 18 year old daughter and I took his Essential Series class together and learned a ton! No recipes, just intuitive learning, understanding how to cook from the inside out! John is knowledgeable, patient, comprehensive and entertaining! Highly recommend for anyone wanting to improve their food and fun in the kitchen!

I recently attend Season To Taste culinary class and it was a fantastic experience! John was knowledgeable, engaging and made cooking feel approachable for all skill levels. The hands-on experience and clear instructions made a huge difference. I left feeling more confident in my cooking skills and excited to try new recipes and cooking techniques at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking to improve their culinary techniques!

My husband and I had an amazing time cooking with John! We are cooking novices, and John was such a fantastic and patient teacher. We had such a fun time learning knife skills, how to make different dumpling folds, and how to roll out and cut fresh pasta. Our meal was delicious, and at the end of the night we were super excited to have the opportunity to make our own dumplings and pasta again. Chef John's passion for cooking is contagious, and we'd love to pick up some more skills from him. So, if you're looking for a fun and delicious way to spend an evening, definitely hit up Chef John's cooking classes.

I cannot speak highly enough of the Essentials Series and of John as a teacher! I had gotten to the point where I felt confident with "the what" of cooking, but wanted to understand "the why". This is the only class I could find that addressed the foundational pieces that I knew I was missing to become a more competent cook. John did a great job of giving enough background information to provide context for what we were doing, but kept the class moving at a pace that ensured we were able to cover all of the material in the time we had. I definitely recommend this course for anyone who wants to optimize their time in the kitchen, AND enjoys the art of creating a delicious meal!
